Target USA — Episode 154: Russia denies jailed American access to US assistance

Paul Whelan is an American who was arrested on Dec. 28 in Moscow. The Russian government says he was caught red-handed committing espionage. But they’ve never said what he was doing — except that he received a USB flash drive from someone in a hotel that allegedly contained classified information.

Whelan’s twin brother David Whelan returns to Target USA to explain the latest concerning developments. Among them is the Russian government’s continued refusal to explain the charges.
